Benefits of Orthodontics
Proper Occlusion
Orthodontics is a dental specialty involving alignment of the teeth and jaws. The way the teeth fit
together, or occlusion, affects the function of the jaw joints and muscles. Properly aligned teeth reduce
decay and gum disease while improving the ability to chew and speak. Proper orthodontics utilizes techniques
on both occlusion and a great smile. This is why Dr. Donaldson completed the two year Roth Williams program
on esthetics and functional occlusion after he graduated from LSU's Orthodontic Program.
Esthetics and Self Esteem
Your smile is a focus of attention. By wearing braces, you are taking a positive step that will improve the
health of your mouth and your appearance for a lifetime. According to psychologist Dr. Joyce Brothers,
"Orthodontic treatment can greatly enhance one's self esteem and the quality of life itself. A pleasing smile
is a vital aspect of one's self confidence."
